Unclear from the story whether the book's author, presidential historian and frequent Fox guest @DougWead, was the one who interpreted "PC" as "political correctness," or if the Fox reporter inserted that interpretation and framed the entire article around it.
You might remember Wead from the time the president saw him on Fox & Friends and praised his book, which he definitely did not read.
The Washington Examiner also published a story on this -- after it started getting tarred as likely false on Twitter -- that appears to be built on Fox's reporting and links to it. washingtonexaminer.com/news/cia-offic…
The FoxNews.com story was based on an excerpt they received; it is unclear whether the Examiner actually reviewed the same excerpt, or if its story is derived solely from Fox's reporting. All quotes in the Examiner story also appear in the FoxNews.com one.
FoxNews.com has updated its story on CIA staff complaining of Obama WH "political correctness" meetings, saying it accurately quoted author Doug Wead's book and is reaching out to him because "'PC' may instead stand for 'Principals Committee.'"
The Washington Examiner story also now has an update.
Wead often appears on Fox News, and his commentary has been praised by the president.
